This weekend, San Francisco played host to a big multi-studio fan press junket at WonderCon, a pint-sized adjunct to July’s giant ComicCon in San Diego. Disney imported producer Jerry Bruckheimer, Nic Cage and Jake Gyllenhaal and screened footage from Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Toy Story 3 (which they have now tantalizingly screened in its entirety thrice, at Showest, International YouTube vloggers day and a Pixar screening for long-lead press). They also staged a viral event for Tron Legacy (see video below).

Catnip for genre fans, The Losers’ Chris Evans talked to press about why he took the role of Captain America. (Here’s a gushy tweet from @colliderfrosty: “cool moment of the day for me: Chris Evans (Captain America) came over to say goodbye before leaving the press room. The guy is super nice. he remembered me from set visit/a few interviews.”)

Lionsgate screened Kick-Ass (April 16), which is tracking poorly outside of the young male quadrant. And BBC America wowed crowds with the new Dr. Who first episode, which airs April 17 (see first few moments of episode below).

“Inception,” the 39-year-old director’s seventh feature film and his first foray into science fiction, combines the perception riddles of “Memento” and the sheer scale of “Dark Knight” with its $160-million budget and location shoots in Morocco, France, Japan and three other countries. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as a specialist in the new branch of corporate espionage — he’s a dream thief who plucks secrets from the minds of tycoons after pumping them full of drugs and hooking them up to a mysterious contraption. The problem, though, is the land of nod can be volatile — as can DiCaprio’s character, Dom Cobb, who is a wounded dreamer after the loss of his beloved wife.
